Probabilistic Earthquake Hazard Maps for the State of Montana

Because of the potential earthquake threat to dams in Montana, a set of probabilistic earthquake ground motion maps have been developed for the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) Dam Safety Program.

The maps display ground motions for two site conditions: soft rock and the ground surface. In addition to the ground shaking maps, a set of 6 maps have been developed to aid DNRC
and practicing engineers in the analysis of site response and liquefaction potential. These maps display the modal earthquake magnitude and modal distance of the magnitude–distance distribution that contribute to the hazard at a specified location for the three return periods.

Coalbed-Methane Basics: Powder River Basin, Montana

Coalbed methane, produced in southeastern Montana, presents new economic opportunities for energy production. However, potential impacts to State ground-water resources and managing produced water have raised concerns.

This pamphlet presents a simplified explanation of methane generation and production. It also explains the concerns related to aquifer drawdown and the management of produced water. This publication provides the non-technical reader a basic understanding of ground-water issues associated with current and anticipated coalbed-methane production in southeastern Montana.
